BUCS SIGNING QB BAKER MAYFIELD TO ONE-YEAR DEAL

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!!!

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers might have found Tom Brady's successor at quarterback.
The Bucs are finalizing a deal with former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield, NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero reported on Wednesday, per sources.
Mayfield, 27, will sign a one-year deal worth up to $8.5 million, per NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. Mayfield's deal with Tampa Bay will include $2 million signing bonus, Pelissero added.
Mayfield was traded to the Carolina Panthers last July, starting six games there before being released and signing with the Rams a few days later, starting four games in place of an injured Matthew Stafford.

Anthony Richardson tops combine standouts to re-examine; thoughts on Panthers acquiring No. 1 pick

The NFL Scouting Combine is a valuable event for collecting background information, evaluating football character and assessing health, but for the most part, the televised portions should not significantly impact a team's pre-draft process. Though the workouts are fun to watch on NFL Network and NFL+, the athletic testing and positional drills at Lucas Oil Stadium cannot overshadow years of actual game tape.

As a young scout, I heard the same thing from a group of veterans in the industry: "The film reveals a prospect's DNA." It's true. Talent evaluators mess up when they allow themselves to be swayed by spandex workouts, as opposed to trusting what their eyes and instincts gleaned from a player's college career. While a prospect's athleticism and explosiveness matter, the game is played between the lines -- and in pads. There are exceptions, of course, but most of the NFL's best players dominated the competition in college. As Hall of Fame executive Ron Wolf told me, it is essential for top prospects to possess certain traits to succeed in the league (like height, weight, speed, quickness and ball skills), but those attributes must be accompanied by outstanding in-game performance.

With all of that in mind, I'd like to discuss the biggest name to emerge from this year's talent showcase in Indianapolis. Anthony Richardson put on quite an athletic performance. At 6-foot-4 and 244 pounds, the Florida product electrified combine watchers with a 4.43 40-yard dash -- and that's just the beginning! Richardson also set a modern combine record for quarterbacks in the vertical leap (40 1/2 inches) and tied the modern mark in the broad jump (10-foot-9). With that kind of athleticism at that size, Richardson made every single evaluator sprint back to the film for further analysis -- myself included.

Studying Richardson before the combine, I had concerns about his accuracy, judgment and production. Despite being touted as an A+ athlete, Richardson did not routinely dominate as a dual-threat playmaker. Sure, the young man provided a number of splash plays that dotted highlight reels in the fall, but he did not look like a first-round pick (i.e., an NFL starter in Year 1 or Year 2) as a runner or passer.

    Combine coconut oil and chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between, until the mixture is melted.
    Stick a toothpick or a skewer into a peanut butter ball and dip it into the chocolate. Let the excess chocolate drip off and then put it onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
    Repeat until all the cannonballs are coated. Chill in the fridge for at least 45 minutes before serving.
